Reece Stamper, aged 41, was found dead in his home on January 12, 2004, in Dayton, Ohio. The incident occurred at his residence on South Smithville Road, where officers discovered Stamper lying on the floor. The house was securely locked when authorities arrived, indicating no signs of forced entry. The homicide investigation was launched by the Dayton Police Department, but the case remains unsolved to this day.
Despite the efforts of local law enforcement, there have been no significant leads, and Reece Stamper’s homicide continues to be an open case. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) has since provided visibility to this and other unsolved homicides through the Ohio Attorney General's office, in an attempt to increase public awareness and gather helpful tips. They aim to encourage anyone with information to come forward, hoping it will lead to justice for Stamper and closure for his family.
The circumstances surrounding Stamper’s death remain mysterious, especially given the secure nature of his home when discovered. Authorities have reached out for assistance from the community, asking anyone with potential information to contact the Miami Valley Crime Stoppers. Highlighting cold cases such as Stamper’s is part of a broader initiative by the BCI to bring renewed attention and investigative resources to unsolved homicides across the state.
